Summary

Hungarian PM Peter Magyar says the Paks nuclear plant, which cut output to just over ten percent amid historic drought and record-low Danube levels, could return to full 2,000 MW capacity by Wednesday. The plant restarted its third reactor overnight and is producing about 800 MW, helped by rising water levels and engineering works including a riverbed sill and sunken barges.
